The machine was taken apart and thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces of detergent before being fitted with a filter, air pump and waterproof LED lighting, which was siliconed into place between the inner and outer tubs.

It’s a novel idea — especially since the washing machine is situated within an electrical appliance showroom: Rochester Appliance in Henrietta, New York, where it’s proved very popular with customers — although we think it’s unfortunate that it has been stocked with 'Glo fish’, due to the fact that "they pop more in LED lighting".
